Smart CTF 2

[DX-Chain]

I'm pleased to share a brand-new CTF map pack for both casual and competitive play across the 3 major online multiplayer source ports: Smart CTF 2

 

This time I had a lot of inspiration and freedom to work on the layouts and play-test across different multiplayer Doom communities. As a result, the layouts can be played as simply or with as much complexity as the players/teams wish.

 

The project was done in one year, and the bulk of the maps were done in the first 6-8 months. However, I got busy with IRL stuff and the project sat on the shelf until putting the finishing touches just a few days ago.

 

I'd like to extend a huge thanks to my long-time collaborators:

 

• James Paddock and Stuart Rynn, for lending their best-in-class talents to composing brand-new music for this project. Virtually all of the tracks were written with the map aesthetic/central gameplay idea in mind. Even after 10+ years since last working together, I'm in awe with the quality of the work from these two gentlemen.
• Thomas "Rabotik" Van Der Velden, for once again creating an epic logo + TITLEPIC that truly channels the feeling and adrenaline rush when playing these maps.
• Ru5tK1ng and HumanBones for submitting a guest map and a layout idea, respectively (lol.jpg for the win!)

 

Special thanks go to the following community members and organizations:

 

• Ralphis, KBlair, Flambeau, Lil'Ruff, the Wadazine team, and Denzoa for hosting servers and events with SmartCTF.
• UberGewei for being the first public admin/organizer to jump on the pack and showcasing it throughout every single beta & release candidate revision on ZDaemon.
• GhostKiller, Caution, Hardyween, Nautilus, JCD/ZeroDev, Oxyde, Majik, Infer, Rosk1ng, and everyone else that helped playtest and offer useful feedback and critique!
• Big thanks to RottKing for giving me permission to tinker around with his RottVox sounds so that SmartCTF could have its own announcer.
• The WDL, Vengeance, and DML leagues for showcasing and choosing several maps in their league/competition seasons.

 

Get the pack now at the /idgames archive or by copy/pasting this link: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/deathmatch/Ports/megawads/smartctf

I'd include images of the maps, but just go play it in one of the multiplayer ports of your choice! There are sure to be some release/launch sessions coming up :-)

I may be biased but the maps look stunning :-)

Congrats on the release. I liked the top shelf production of the first one and the sequel seems to be as polished, if not more.

That titlepic alone is incredible - this looks extremely well made! (No surprise there though!)
